Configuration and Secrets

dlt pipelines usually require configurations and credentials. These can be set up in various ways:

1. Environment variables
2. Configuration files (secrets.toml and config.toml)
3. Key managers and Vaults

dlt automatically extracts configuration settings and secrets based on flexible naming conventions. It then injects these values where needed in code.
